What should i do if my ipod is getting really hot when i use it/

I need help my ipod keeps getting really hot when i use it

I would suggest you stop use for a period of time until it cools down. When you turn it off, make sure you exit out of whatever program you are running. If it persists getting hotter, to the point where it's hard to hold, I would suggest you take it into the Apple store nearest you. Depending on how long you have had it, they may be able to replace it for you free of charge.
It is abnormal for that device to get extremely hot but when it is running multiple programs, such as playing music and surfing safari, it can heat up.

    my ipod touch won't hold a charge and gets really hot when im using it. what is going on?

    Likely that the battery is dead.  I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to confirm. Apple will replace the battery for this price:

    There are third-party places which may be less expensive.  Here is one. Google for more.

  • IPod touch gets very hot when using the Internet/Video

    Hello. I have a question about my iPod touch (8 GB, 1.1.4, January Software Upgrade). When I go to Safari and browse the web, or when I'm watching a long video (YouTube and memory) the iPod gets really hot, particulary on the top, near the Sleep-Wake button. Is this normal or should I worry?

    Is it hot to the touch? or is it warm? My iPod only gets warm, but not hot, down near the home button after/during a sync or watching videos/searching the web.

  • IPod Touch 3rd generation is not turning on and gets really hot when I plug it in but is not charging...

    I have an iPod Touch 3rd generation and yesterday I was using it and noticed that it reset to a different time zone and when I dug a little deeper realized that it reset the date to December of 1969. I just went in and changed it all back. I was out of the house all day today and didn't take it with me, when I went to use it, it wouldn't turn on. I assumed it was dead, so I plugged it in and got ready for bed. I realized that the charging screen never appeared and it never made the little noise it does when you plug it in. I picked it up and right near where the charger plugs in, it was very hot. I use it when it'd plugged in from time to time and it is NEVER that hot. I then tried to plug it into the computer where it again didn't do anything and didn't show up as a device that was plugged in on my iTunes. Again, it got very hot very quickly. I am using the cord that came with it and an actual Apple brand wall charger. I don't know what else to do. Some people said to hold the two buttons down for a little bit, but nothing happened on mine. Please help!

    Warm is normal, too hot to handle, literally, is not.
    If you're concerned, make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check your charger out.

    What should i do if my ipod touch doesn't light up after pressing the main button on the front of the screen?

    Perhaps your iPod is turned Off? Try pressing the On/Off switch on the top side until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

    What should i do if my ipod touch 4 gen. has a white screen and it goes away rarely. Should i return it and get a new one?

    If the problem persits after restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod then you likely have a hardware problem.  In that case an appointment at the Genius Bar of an apple store or returing it to Apple is in order.

    You'll have to get it serviced by Apple, you'll have to pay for the replacement device:
    Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
    Apple - Support - Service Answer Center
    You can also search for a 3rd party repair company in the Internet.

  • I put in my memory card to the left side of the computer, but I cannot find the file of pictures anywhere. Its not even on my desktop. What should I do and how can I get it to show up on my desktop?

    If your Mac is new-ish and has one of the Lions as its OS, the drives, cards, USB sticks no longer show up, even though they're there. Go to Finder's Preferences and tick the corresponding items in the General and Sidebar tabs.

  • When I see the usage on my iPod touch 4 they have categories for how much space is being used where. What does the "other" category contain? Like what could I delete on my iPod to get rid of the "other" category?

    when I see the usage on my iPod touch 4 they have categories for how much space is being used where. What does the "other" category contain? Like what could I delete on my iPod to get rid of the "other" category?

    What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
    First try:
    "First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
    as recommended by:
    How do I get rid of "other" storage: Apple Support Communities
    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
    To restore from backup see:

  • I'm trying to download a FREE app on my iphone4s and the billing information thing keeps popping up. It wasn't doing that yesterday. What should I do? Idk why I need that info when the app is free

    I'm trying to download a FREE app and the billing info thing keeps popping up. It wasn't doing that yesterday. Now I can't even download anything. What should I do ? Idk why I need thus info when the app is free

    You must have a payment method in your iTunes account, even for free content. It is used to verify your identity. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 for information on how to create a billing method if you don't have a credit card.

  • HT3302 what if i pay for the iPod to get fixed, because it doesn't have warranty anymore?

    my iPod touch 4 has accidently gotten wet, to where the screen is turning blank. The warranty has ran out, like about 2 years ago, and Apple won't fix it for free, i know that for a fact. What if I pay for the iPod to get it  fixed? Will Apple still fix it? If so, How much?

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit
